Spent 4 hours yesterday trying to get this ***** thing to work.
Grrr... It seems like /dev/ttyUSB0 gets disconnected every time I run
./versa_ep5.py --load --fpga ulx3s85f... Trying to run the upload then
starting minicom, it says 'initializing modem' then there's no further
output in minicom. I think I need some live support from you on our
next zoom call :(

``` what's displayed in the minicom xterm
Welcome to minicom 2.7.1

OPTIONS: I18n
Compiled on May  6 2018, 08:02:47.
Port /dev/ttyUSB0, 11:58:08
